I Have 2011 CRV 2.0 EXI. After use first a set tyre I change tire. original tire run 60,000 KM, Tire worn like normal. Vehicle not lost any alignment.
I after I change tire i did not do wheel alignment. but vehicle run 10,000 KM look like worn tyre. On two front wheel out side thread. specially at edge.
After I see this problem,I check the alignment is shop, but technican said specification is ok. Is any one who had same problem before? who had preformance adjust.
I workshop manual alignment specification is
caster 3°02' ±1°
camber 0°00' ±30'
Toe in 0 ±2mm
Try using the Inflation 4 psi rule
Tyre pressures vary for every vehicle depending on weight loads, size etc. An easy do-it-yourself method for checking you have the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle is known as the "4 psi rule". Firstly you need to inflate all tyres to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer, for a "cold tyre" reading and then drive for say a distance of 100 klm on bitumen.
Upon stopping, immediately recheck your tyre pressure while the tyre is still warm.
If your tyre pressure reading is greater than 4 psi from the "cold tyre" reading you took at the beginning of your trip, then the tyres are getting too hot and your starting tyre pressure was too low. Under inflated tyres wear unevenly and lead to increased fuel consumption. They can also impair the handling of the vehicle in the areas of braking and handling.
If the tyre pressure reading is less than 4 psi from the "cold tyre" reading you took at the beginning of your trip, then your starting tyre pressure was too high. You will need to run the test again (once the tyre has completely cooled) with less pressure until you find the right balance.
It is acceptable for larger 4WD's to have a 6 psi difference between the pressure at the commencement of the trip, and after 100 klm of travel.
Remember to use the same accurate gauge for all pressure readings and always carry a gauge with you when possible.
Always see your tyre dealer if you have any further concerns or questions regarding tyre maintenance or pressures.
